At Buttercups we have a strong focus in creating a home-like environment for your child. We deliver the highest standards of child care in a safe, warm and welcoming environment, where your child can discover themselves. More than a motto - it underpins every teaching and learning task undertaken at Buttercups Childcare, Kindergarten and Daycare.
These skills are of critical importance and we have made teaching them a whole centre focus: all of our staff support this approach. Our early learning educators also recognize that developing your child's self-esteem, decision-making skills and the ability to take responsibility is vital. We teach these through empowerment and positive reinforcement.

My son has been attending Buttercups since he was 7 months old. He's recently commenced kindy and still goes to Buttercups on his non kindy days, he loves returning to the centre to spend time with the people who have contributed so much care and support to him for such a big part of his little life.

If you’re on the fence on which daycare to choose, pick Buttercups! I can not rate this company highly enough. My daughter was in the Northbridge centre from the age of 7 months to 2 years and she would have stayed there until school if it wasn’t for me changing jobs and it being closer to my home. The staff are absolutely incredible and my little one has turned into such an independent, polite and social little girl and I put this down to the education and values here at Buttercups. The centre it’s self is beautifully organised, clean and homely! Would highly recommend!!

We could not be happier with our decision to enrol our son at Buttercups. He has attended for the last 12 months and we have been fortunate to watch him flourish over that time with thanks to the guidance and care from the amazing team. From the moment we enter we are treated like family. The facilities are beautiful and light and it’s the sort of place that inspires happiness. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. I would absolutely recommend Buttercups.

Both my kids attend this service in the nursery and kindergarten room. I haven't experienced a daycare as professional as this one. They also have a great app so I can communicate with staff and see what my kids are up to everyday.
My kids love the educators and the staff are very patient and understanding with our family.
Di and Marcia do a great job running the centre.

He's recently commenced kindy and still goes to Buttercups on his non kindy days, he loves returning to the centre to spend time with the people who have contributed so much care and support to him for such a big part of his little life. He's experiencing so many changes this year so for him to be able to feel safe, secure and familiar is such a relief to both of us.

We are so unbelievably happy with Buttercups. The team are amazingly attentive and they genuinely love being with the kids. Everyone greets you hello in the morning and goodbye at night. It’s clear they know what they are doing and put your child’s safety first. They are also extremely creative with their curriculum and I feel my child is getting a real leg up in life.

We love so many things about this place - the staff are attentive, friendly and genuinely excited to tell you about your child's day. There are many bright and cheerful play spaces both inside and outside. We love the naturescape playground and the fish tank at the entrance. Most importantly our daughter tells us she "...had fun at new school" every day! She's been going now since the start of the year and she still keeps telling us this. We feel reassured that we made the right decision to move her here.

Buttercups is simply delightful. The team of educators are warm and caring and make every little one feel very special and welcome.
A beautiful, freshly renovated old house complete with 3 gorgeous outside play areas and an aquarium provides a lovely home-away-from-home environment. Every day at Buttercups is filled with new activities and… adventures.
Located centrally in Northbridge, with bike lanes close by, makes Buttercups perfect for families living or working in the inner city.
Thank you Buttercups for making the transition to daycare a pleasure.
